Egg Roll in a Bowl is a deconstructed version of the classic takeout favorite, offering all the flavor without the deep-fried wrapper. It’s a quick, high-protein, low-carb meal that’s easy to customize and perfect for busy weeknights.

Ingredients

  • 1.5 lb ground chicken (or pork)
  • 1 yellow onion, finely chopped
  • 1 medium bag of coleslaw mix with carrots
  • 2 green onions, chopped diagonally
  • 2 tbsp sesame oil
  • 1/4 cup light soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp hoisin sauce
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp ground ginger
  • 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
  • Kosher salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Cooked brown rice (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce and hoisin sauce. Set aside.
  2. In a large pan over medium-high heat, cook ground chicken until browned.
  3. Season the meat with salt, pepper, ground ginger, and red pepper flakes. Stir in sesame oil.
  4. Add minced garlic and finely chopped onion. Simmer for about 8 minutes, until the onion becomes tender.
  5. Pour in the hoisin and soy sauce mixture and mix well.
  6. Stir in the coleslaw mix and cook for about 7 minutes, or until the cabbage is wilted and tender.
  7. Remove from heat and serve hot over cooked brown rice, garnished with chopped green onions.

Notes

  • Use ground beef, turkey, or tofu for variation.
  • To make it gluten-free, use tamari and a gluten-free hoisin sauce.
  • Skip the rice or serve in lettuce wraps for a low-carb option.
  • Add mushrooms, bell peppers, or snap peas for extra nutrition.
  • Scramble in a couple of eggs before adding the coleslaw mix for more protein.
